T2000 v1 Boomer

"Pittsburg!" The sarge's shout woke me. "How can a sub be stuck in the ice near Pittsburg?"

MacDonald had that "Lord, what an idiot" look she gets sometimes when she is talking to us. "Not Pittsburg," she said, "Spitsbergen. S-P-I-T-S-B-E-R-G-E-N. It's an island about 500 klicks north of Norway."

I thought back to Mrs. Parker's geography class. I didn't think there was anything north of Norway.

In Boomer, the crew of Corpus Christi discovers a chilling fact: A Soviet Typhoon-class nuclear missile submarine is alive and well. Worse, it still has three of its missiles and their warheads.

Information presented in this module includes:

Source material and maps for Norway and the Svalbard Archipelago.

Background details on how the Soviet sub came to be trapped in the ice and on the operation undertaken to recover it.

Rules for traversing the arctic ice pack, and a discussion of the special dangers and encounters to be found there.

Boomer is the dramatic climax to the Last Submarine trilogy and brings the series to a close with a daring assault over the polar ice.

Third and last installment of the "Last Sub" Trilogy. Decent storyline but the adventure seems much bigger than your small - yet hardy - band of characters should be up for. Makes for a real challenge. [...]

A bit of a rare one this as it's the first time I've had a chance to run this. But I have to say I'm seriously impressed. A worthy end to the Last Sub trilogy.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE&l [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
